IP개요 | We describe a low power, small area time-to-digital converter (TDC) based on cyclic digital controlled oscillator (DCO) structure. The TDC is designed to be combined with an array of single photon avalanche diodes (SPAD) arranged in a digital silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) architecture to form an fluorescence life time sensor. The high dynamic range is achieved by using two individual counter two continuous conversion steps: coarse step and fine step. | ||
